If you are viewing this listing on a site other than our own, you are on a re-seller site, not our website. We list openings not already booked on our site here and on other booking portals that re-sell available nights at a higher rate to cover surcharges & booking fees. What you get for this premium: You get an easy to use mobile platform and a quality assurance guarantee from the reseller that we will deliver the property as advertised.
Personally, we use resellers when traveling to remote areas that do not have strong locally based property management companies and have had good luck with it. We are happy to have our home available on this site.

Getting Around: Rent a bike, walk, or even take short uber rides to all the attractions Charleston has to offer.
Other Things to Note: This is a legal short term rental licensed by the City of Charleston #OP2024-04988. Stay with peace of mind.
Interaction with Guests: I live in the main part of the house and will be onsite to answer any questions you might have during your stay.

We loved the property and felt very welcomed by our hosts! Also really enjoyed how close it was to a lot of nice restaurants and attractions. We would definitely stay there again!
Stayed here to run the Kiawah Marathon -- but did not stay long enough in this great spot -- the location is right where one would want when visiting Charleston.
Convenient location within walking distance of king st
We had two rooms for ourselves and our daughter and her two month old. We came to Charleston for a wedding. The property manger was wonderful and had a pack n play for the baby to sleep in. My husband wanted to watch college football while we got ready for the wedding and the tv wasn't working. They brought a new tv and hooked it up! Great customer service!!
Great small suite for a short stay. Spiral staircase as described. A little far from the action I wanted. But that said, I did walk all around town. Buses are free for seniors and free shuttles for all. So, I could have availed myself of that. Parking was great. Courtney was great with all communication.
The accommodations were as described. Lovely property. I was in suite 4 on the upper level. The spiral staircase may be difficult for some especially if you have heavy luggage but that was not an issue for us. The bed was very comfortable. Thankfully the couple staying in the suite next to us was quiet. It is a 15-20 min walk to King street but we (2 females) felt safe walking at night. Nice touches such as granola bars, coffee, wine opener and glasses and water provided. Overall it was a good value for the price and I would definitely stay again.

Clean and convenient - not great latout
Great location- good walk to great close restaurants. Only frustration was quality of WIFI- could not stream anything - host tried to rectify but said a guest unplugged router . So movies and good connectivity for internet quite poor during stay. Also there is. 3-4 inch lip/ elevation change between bathroom and bedroom which is tough to navigate on the dark! Floor lighting or some way to alert would have been great- big trip and near wipeout over this. Bathroom is also totally wet due to floor drain and shower design - good not great for the price - will not stay again
We didn’t realize this was a room in a house with neighboring rooms mere inches away with shared doors and staircases. It’s literally just a room and bathroom. Both are small. Maybe this is normal in Charleston idk. Wasn’t for us. We should have read the listing closer I suppose. Just a fair warning.
It was clean and the host was very nice. So not here to bash anyone.
Also fwiw every single window was unlocked which was very strange. And the coffee maker has some moldy bits in the water reservoir. Just needs to be cleaned every week or so likely.
Overall the stay was fine.
I was very happy with my stay. It was conveniently located near historical section. any questions that I had were answered right away.
There was construction going on at the property on the last day of my stay it woke me up a little earlier then I planned on getting up.
Courtney takes a lot of pride in the maintenance of the property.
I would definitely stay again.
This was convenient and safe. I appreciate the wine in the room.
The only thing about staying on second floor is that it is hard to get luggage up there so if I were elderly I would not take a second floor.
Bed was very comfy and updates are cute.
The manager (owner?) was pleasant and easily reachable.
The room was nice, but small. Also, the only entrance to this 2nd floor room was a spiral staircase. It was difficult to carry luggage up to (and back down) this staircase. (And this appeared to be the only entrance - not sure what we would have done if there was a fire in the entrance way.)
This property was a tiny little gem in a great neighborhood. It was equipped with everything you could possibly want for a stay of a few days, with the exception of a few more square feet! There was really no place to sit in the room, which would have been nice. And while not a problem for us, be aware that accessing the room requires winding up a small circular staircase. An extra 50 square feet would have let me give this place five stars.
The property is clean and comfortable. Courtney is very thoughtful and the situation is convenient for Charleston's attractions. Parking is added perk.
Beautiful building, construction and room. Bathroom was really nice. Cool shower! Hosts were very nice and very informative. Told us about the work they did on the house, house nextdoor...etc. Beautiful brick driveway and off street parking came in handy. Great location near many great restaurants and easy walk to free bus stops to travel all over Charleston. We will be going back to this property.
Despite the small size this rental packs in everything you need for a self sufficient stay, even down to plates and silverware. If you’re planning to spend most of your time out in the city and surrounding areas this is a good option for a base to sleep.
The free parking is a great plus point and we were able to walk to downtown and easily got an Uber at night. Many of the houses on the street are being renovated it appears but on the whole the street was nice and we didn’t have any issues with road noise on an evening.
The spiral staircase is quirky but we did struggle with our large suitcases (we were doing a 2 week road trip so had big bags) so something to be mindful of.
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom/shower a good size.
Beautiful charming area of town. Great location for sightseeing, shops, and local dinining. VERY comfortable bed! Spotless and well appointed bathroom with EPIC rainflow showerhead. We appreciated the wine, granola bars and coffee. Outstanding value with realistic fees. We stayed in upstairs unit 3 accesible by spiral staircase. Please note for those with vertigo or mobility challenges.
We enjoyed this lovely room! The bed was VERY comfortable and the shower was amazing!! Appreciated all the extras like Kleenex, bottled water, flavored coffee creamers, shampoo, paper plates and napkins and the bottle of wine. It was easy to walk to all the sights and we appreciated the free parking! The host was very responsive and kind. We would definitely stay here again!
